.NET 4.0 Certification

First off, my handle since the 80's has been "Codeguru". So this is an awkward post, hah.

Anyway, I've been looking for a while, and can anyone tell me the proper certification path one would take to be a proper .NET developer? As if to put on a resume? I've been going over tutorials and such for all the different aspects, and C#/VB are languages I've used in the past. I just want to gain the proper credentials to show I know what I'm talking about to employers. I already have a BS in Computer Science, just looking to add on...

Re: .NET 4.0 Certification

Oh yes, experience would be great. But I'm hardly the kind of person to do freelance contract work yet, and I'm basically starting my career rather than continuing it. So, no real work experience yet. So MCSD is their blah blah term for .Net Developer? I did come across that but it sounded odd. But thanks for clearing that up. I'd definitely look into it. If they are like other certification paths, they are bound to have an associate level certification for lowly people like me. Gotta start somewhere though...

Re: .NET 4.0 Certification

"MCPD certifications will not be updated for versions later than Visual Studio 2010, and your MCPD certification will decline in value as companies move to newer versions of our products. Take advantage of special upgrades to earn a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) and protect your investment in your certifications. "

Umm, that would seem to indicate the MCPD was replaced by the MCSD. Or am I reading it wrong?...
